Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic system of<br />

the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and<br />

palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of Khmer<br />

Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and<br />

around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food<br />

more quickly and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was<br />

pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and loss of water led to decrease<br />

in the food supply. With the less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to<br />

migrate to other parts of Cambodia, thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be<br />

swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen<br />

victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.<br />
